>I found a nice pot roast on sale at the grocery store recently... it was a big one, bigger than DH and I could eat for one meal. I usually would cook it anyway and we would eat leftovers for a few days. This time I decided to can it.

Why would you want to can a roast?
What if you had a disaster and couldn't get to a store or the store was sold out; what if you were snowed in and no power? It always pays to have at the very least, a weeks worth of food to eat and a way to cook it. Ideally, a years food storage would be best. Just buy two of everything and put one away for the future. Be sure and store plenty of water. You can survive without food, but not very long without water. What if you didn't have a job and couldn't afford to buy food; food storage to the rescue! It pays to plan ahead for anything that may happen in the future.

I have this thing called plumbing, including a hot water heater with 50 gallons in it at all times.

The only correct methods to preserve raw meat without freezing is too dry or salt it.

Probably shouldn't use this as a standard, but I had canned meat at my mother's that was at least 6 years old and it tasted just like it was canned a couple of weeks ago. Always check your meat and heat it really well before eating when it comes out of the jar.
WELL.. I get meat on sale to save money. I also dont have freezer space. And because this is all made and ready to go for a meal, it saves me time and energy. I have a medical problem that causes me fatigue in the evenings, and cooking a good dinner is sometimes a challenge.

First off, you need to leave about 1/2" more space at the top with meat. Secondly, even home canned beef, isn't particularly good. Perhaps if you corned it first, it would be better.
Fish, particularly smoked, is excellent home canned. Chicken isn't bad either. But canning uncorned beef is really kind of a waste of a rather expensive meat.
Also, be careful with quart jars and meat. Normally meat should be canned in pint jars for safety reasons. Don't fuck around with this stuff. Follow university or USDA guidelines.
canning meat is safe but "canning granny" seems a bit retarded and haphazard
the pieces shouldn't be much more than an inch cubed or else the heat won't penetrate deep enough and you risk getting boulism
